socket.json

The socket.json file is a local configuration file to be consumed by the CLI.

The file contains project/repository level default override for flags and args.

For example, if you do socket scan create --branch=foo, you can instead also run socket scan setup, set a default for the --branch flag to foo, and next time you run socket scan create it will automatically set --branch=foo. And if you use --branch=xyz instead then it will happily use xyz.

Each project root dir needs its own socket.json. There is no inheritance or anything fancy. Many things here are specific to a project, anyways. Repo name, branch name, manifest configuration, etc.

This file is meant to make your life easier when using the Socket CLI. You can do whatever you want with it:

• Commit it to repo to ease collaboration
• Ignore it in your .gitignore because you don't like the clutter
• Delete it because you don't need this
• Edit it because you're curious
• Do nothing
